How it feels

A methodical and challenging puzzle game where you carefully push blocks, activate switches, and rotate walls to build circuitry, with a retro pixel aesthetic.

What players say

Players call it a worthy successor to Chip's Challenge, with compact single-screen puzzles that test logic rather than reflexes. The lack of an undo button frustrates some on longer levels, and the music grows repetitive after a few hours, but the difficulty curve stays fair and rewarding.
